How loud is this alarm? Would it wake a heavy sleeper?

The alarm has a couple of settings but even the lowest setting is quite loud. I would think it would wake a heavy sleeper especially set on the highest setting.

It isnt that loud. It depends on how light of sleepers your kids are. Wouldnt bother my daughter, but would wake my son.

Yes, it will wake you up out of a deep sleep. I have three receivers, one upstairs, one down, and one in another building. Never had any problem hearing them.

Not sure what you mean by "loud", but I always set the alarm through my iPhone app. The Bluetooth needs to be activated through its dedicated button for this to work.

If it's in your room, it's loud enough to wake you if you are sleeping, but I don't find it very loud.

Its loud enough for me to sleep... but I'm not sure I'd label it as 'Very Loud'. We can watch tv with it on and only have to turn in up a couple more notches if that tells you anything.

Yes you can wake to the sounds or the radio or a beeper. The wake-up sounds start at zero volume then slowly increase to a predetermined upper volume level. Then there is a snooze (with variable settings) or any button will turn the alarm off. There are a lot of complexities to all the features, but it's okay once you get used to it. I recommend this product.

Hi Amy,The alarm was loud enough to wake my husband and I up from across the hall, but my son slept right through it every time. We'd have to go wake him up. Quite honestly the alarm is so loud and so close to his ear I was concerned about hearing damage. You really don't want an alarm louder than this one. The volume is adjustable.

It is much louder than average. I have a 15 yr old son that sleeps through must alarms but not this because it can be turned up really high. Hope this help with your choice!

I don't think it is. I use the alarm in my classroom, and it reaches over the voices of 30+ students so it is quite loud. Still, I personally do not find it jarring.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. I guess it's all relative. It's loud without being abrasive. I have decent hearing, so I liked that it gradually increases (over about 15-30 seconds) so I can usually turn it off before it gets too loud. I have used it in two different apartments and can always hear it, even while in the shower. But it typically doesn't seem to stir my sleeping fianc, who is a very heavy sleeper. Hope this helps.

I too am a deep sleeper and I sleep on the second floor on the opposite side of the house. The alarm is very loud. Additionally, the pager itself is quite loud and will continue to beep even after the alarm outside has gone off. One of the best purchases I have made for the security of my motorcycle.

This alarm is crazy loud !!! Even set at low. And to answer your question it's yes to both.

No not really,you just have to be careful in listening for it. The alarm is not "soft" but it isn't necessarily load either.

I think the one we got was defective. I could never get the alarm set. sorry I can't answer your question.

I don't notice a clicking noise, though admittedly I'm a fairly heavy sleeper & I don't wake up until the maximum light & bird alarm. I would think a loud clicking would awaken me, so I'm voting yours might be faulty.

My aide is in an upstairs bedroom, and when I press the button downstairs, I can hear the alarm upstairs (provided the doors are open). I assume that would make it loud enough for the person near it.
